    The first one should be accounted for under the cost method, and dividends are used as investment income. The second should be the dividends accounted for under the equity method for long-term investment-profit and loss adjustment. You should have a good understanding of the accounting principles of the long-term equity cost method and the equity method, and you can distinguish them.

    In addition, the questions you gave are not complete. In general, the questions will tell you what you should calculate according to. For example, equity greater than 20% is the equity method, less than 20% is the cost method, etc.

    Long-term equity investment: controlled, uncontrolled, non-significant and non-market value using the cost method. According to the accounting principle of the cost method, except for consolidation, the formed long-term equity investment is based on the actual price paid plus transaction taxes as the initial investment cost, and the cash dividends declared but not yet paid in the actual price cannot be regarded as the initial cost and should be included in the interest receivable.

    During the holding period, the investee re-declares the payment of cash dividends, which are recognized as receivables on the one hand, and recognized as current profits and losses on the other hand, and included in investment income. (In fact, under the cost method, it means that your equity is too small, and the other party makes a profit and dividends, so you will collect it as a profit, and if you lose it, you will make an impairment provision, which is similar to **buying**).

    Under the equity method: the difference between the actual price paid and the declared and unpaid cash dividends is recognized as the initial cost at the time of joint control and significant influence (20%-50% shareholding) and is included in the long-term equity investment-cost. The profits and losses of the invested enterprises are adjusted according to the part that should be shared or shared, on the one hand, the book value of the long-term investment is included in the long-term investment-profit and loss adjustment, and on the other hand, it is recognized as the current profit or loss and included in the investment income.

    When the shared loss is recognized, the excess part shall be reduced to zero by the book value of the long-term investment for future reference and registration, and the excess part of the unrecognized loss shall be restored according to the share of the profit realized by the investee unit in the future, and then the book value of the long-term investment shall be restored. When the investee pays cash dividends, on the one hand, the receivables are recognized, and the carrying amount of the long-term investment is reduced and included in the long-term investment-profit and loss adjustment credit.

    There is a lot of content in this chapter, and it is not difficult to remember how to distinguish between the cost method, the equity method and the accounting treatment principle.
